Provenance
Earliest known date: 1st July 2009 This tartan was selected by the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body following a competition in 2009 which invited Scottish students to design a tartan to mark 10 years of Devolution. The design was inspired by the Scottish landscape using hints of traditional colours which have been used in tartans for centuries.
